He went viral after removing a swarm of bees at a D-backs game. Now he is getting his own bobblehead.

Paul Sewald and his wife, Molly, are bringing their 'Strikeout 4 Kids' foundation to the Valley this year to support Child Crisis Arizona. Here's how you can help.D-backs closer Paul Sewald poses for pictures after announcing the start of his 'Strikeouts 4 Kids' foundation on May 24, 2024, in Phoenix.The Sewalds originally started raising money for kids through Paul's strikeouts after having their first daughter, Chloe, in 2021.

The Sewalds then toured the Child Crisis facility in Phoenix and knew within 10 minutes that was the organization they wanted to support. "It’s not about us, but just want to make sure that we have a spot where our girls can see this is what we want to do in our lives," Sewald said. "There’s a million people that need extra help and they need donations and they need organizations like Child Crisis to help them," Sewald said."Unfortunately, we can’t help everybody but kids are the center focus of our lives, so I think that’s why it’s most important.

"I try to strike everybody out, that’s what I try to do every single time," Sewald said."So, there’s a part of me with two strikes that gets a little disappointed when I don’t get a strikeout, especially when I know it’s going for kids. But, we like to think of it as a win-win-win, so if you donate, you’re not only helping kids, but you’re helping the Diamondbacks and you’re helping me, so at this point, it’s a win-win-win.
